We previously demonstrated that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in human breast cancer sometimes form organized tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) characterized by CXCL13-producing T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. The present study found that CD4+ Tfh TIL, CD8+ TIL, and TIL-B, colocalizing in TLS, all express the CXCL13 receptor CXCR5. An ex vivo functional assay determined that only activated, functional Th1-oriented Tfh TIL (PD-1hiICOSint phenotype) provide help for immunoglobulin and IFN-γ production. A functional Tfh TIL presence signals an active TLS, characterized by humoral (immunoglobulins, Ki-67+ TIL-B in active germinal centers) and cytotoxic (GZMB+CD8+ and GZMB+CD68+ TIL plus Th1 gene expression) immune responses. Analysis of active versus inactive TLS in untreated patients revealed that the former are associated with positive clinical outcomes. TLS also contain functional T follicular regulatory (Tfr) TIL, which are characterized by a CD25+CXCR5+GARP+FOXP3+ phenotype and a demethylated FOXP3 gene. Functional Tfr inhibited functional Tfh activities via a glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP)-associated TGF-β–dependent mechanism. The activity of tumor-associated TLS was dictated by the relative balance between functional Tfh TIL and functional Tfr TIL. These data provide mechanistic insight into TLS processes orchestrated by functional Th1-oriented Tfh TIL, including TIL-B and CD8+ TIL activation and immunological memory generation. Tfh TIL, regulated by functional Tfr TIL, are an expected key target of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

浸润人乳腺癌的功能性 Th1 导向 T 滤泡辅助细胞促进有效的适应性免疫

我们之前已经证明,人类乳腺癌中的肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞 (TIL) 有时会形成有组织的三级淋巴结构 (TLS),其特征是产生 CXCL13 的 T 滤泡辅助 (Tfh) 细胞。本研究发现,共定位于 TLS中的 CD4 + Tfh TIL、CD8 + TIL 和 TIL-B 均表达 CXCL13 受体 CXCR5。一项离体功能测定确定,只有激活的、功能性 Th1 导向的 Tfh TIL(PD-1 hi ICOS int表型)才能帮助产生免疫球蛋白和 IFN-γ。功能性 Tfh TIL 的存在标志着活性 TLS,其特征是体液(免疫球蛋白、活性生发中心的Ki-67 + TIL-B)和细胞毒性(GZMB + CD8 +和 GZMB + CD68 + TIL 加上 Th1 基因表达)免疫反应。对未治疗患者的活动性与非活动性 TLS 的分析表明,前者与积极的临床结果相关。TLS 还包含功能性 T 滤泡调节 (Tfr) TIL,其特征在于 CD25 + CXCR5 + GARP + FOXP3 +表型和去甲基化的FOXP3基因。功能性 Tfr 通过糖蛋白 A 重复占主导地位 (GARP) 相关的 TGF-β 依赖性机制抑制功能性 Tfh 活性。肿瘤相关 TLS 的活性取决于功能性 Tfh TIL 和功能性 Tfr TIL 之间的相对平衡。这些数据提供了对功能性 Th1 导向 Tfh TIL 协调的 TLS 过程的机制洞察,包括 TIL-B 和 CD8 + TIL 激活和免疫记忆生成。Tfh TIL 受功能性 Tfr TIL 调节,是 PD-1/PD-L1 阻断的预期关键目标。
